Puffins, Whales & Wildlife of Newfoundland & Labrador

A very important feature of our Newfoundland and Labrador tour is the small group size, as nature is best experienced with fewer travelers for a more peaceful experience with less impact on wildlife and our environment.

To minimize long overland drives and complex logistics, we use private flights between key destinations. These flights provide direct access to remote regions, maximizing comfort and time in the field while ensuring a smoother overall travel experience.

Trip price includes: Accommodations, services of Nat Hab's professional Expedition Leader, local guides, whale watching and puffin viewing excursions, private boat tour of Western Brook Pond, evening wildlife and cultural presentations, all meals from dinner on Day 1 through breakfast on final day, some gratuities, all ferry transfers, airport transfers on Day 1 and final day, all activities and entrance fees, all taxes, permits and service fees.

Travel to and from the start and end point of your trip, most alcoholic beverages, gratuities for your Expedition Leader, passport and visa fees (if any), optional activities, items of a personal nature (phone calls, laundry, etc.), international airline baggage fees, airport and departure taxes (if any), required medical evacuation insurance, optional travel protection insurance.

Internal air:  Private charter flight from Gander to Blanc Sablon (this will be listed separately on our invoicing).

Our journey to Newfoundland and Labrador offers an exclusive opportunity to encounter eastern Canada’s rugged landscapes as few travelers do. We immerse ourselves in this landscape and explore more of it than any competitor. As we delve into the remote lands and coastlines, guests must be prepared for adventure, solitude and culinary elements.

Meals
Newfoundland and Labrador are renowned for abundant and high-quality seafood sourced from the cold, pristine North Atlantic. Guests with allergies or strong aversion to seafood must be aware that many of the meals on this trip showcase local seafood. Dietary requirements due to serious medical conditions or strict personal restrictions can be met, with ample notice.

Transportation
Where possible, we have scheduled flights between destinations to minimize long drives. However, some of our remote stops are accessible only by roads, and travelers should be prepared for several long drives over the course of the trip.

This trip begins in St. John’s, Newfoundland and ends in Deer Lake, Newfoundland. You must arrive in St. John’s by 4 pm on Day 1 in order to join your group orientation at 6 pm. For guests who come in early, recommended hotels will be included in your pre-departure materials.

You may depart Deer Lake at any time on the final day. Please note that the transfer from the group hotel in Gros Morne to Deer Lake Regional Airport takes about one hour, so early-morning departing flights will require a very early wake-up.
